We have fine-tuned our craftsmanship of gnome making with years of experience as a textile artisans. Materials are carefully selected to reflect our beliefs of using earth-friendly materials whenever possible without sacrificing the end result.
Our process is time-consuming since all details are hand stitched to place, no glue is ever used to create these heirloom-quality gnomes.

As with all handmade items, some slight variations of handiwork and pattern placement should be excepted.

Nordic Gnomes enjoy a loving environment and will withstand touching and hugging in moderation, but please note that this is not a toy and should not be given to small children. All items come from smoke-free environment.

Centuries ago, Scandinavian people believed that elves are house gnomes who guarded their homes against evil. If you were good, the elves were good to you, but if you were bad, the mischievous elves would play tricks on you. Some of the tricks they enjoyed playing were giving you nightmares by sitting on your head while you were dreaming, tangling your hair as you slept, making your milk turn sour, and stealing your sausages.
Folks believed that if they left a bowl of porridge on the doorstep at night, the elves would be happy and not subject them to their ornery antics.
By the mid-1800's Elves - already a tradition associated with story telling and magic, assumed a new significance and their true intention began to be held as nothing else but to help Father Christmas. And so Christmas Elves were born.
